Disagree.
He's not been good very week, but he's had more good than bad

I think his body is still a long way away.Nope I've watched him quite closely and I'm not seeing it, he's miles off being capable of going body on body on the big "gorilla" AFL KPF's.
I hope like Hell he starts getting his mojo right as he was obviously drafted to takeover from Tals but I have my doubts now, certainly can't see him capable of going toe to toe with the AFL KPF's currently,
Needs a big pre-season over summer to improve his tank and to hit the gym and weights hard then I'll reassess. Until then for mine he's struggling.
Can't wait to see him debut ... hopefully become the Troy Menzel we hoped to have had....
Good set of highlights. Cook oozes x factor
Despite the loss, tons of positive signs
Cook - clearly has AFL qualities, was excellent up forward and dominated their defense when the ball went near him
Gollant - untidy with his kicks and could have had 5 goals but plenty to work with, strong in the air and competes
Hamill - class above this level, pointless playing him here and Mackay in the AFL
McAsey - thought he had a good game and continues to build, but time is running out to play AFL this year. Will benefit from an uninterrupted pre-season
Murphy - built nicely as the game went on, busy around the ground and ended with a game high 13 tackles
Fogarty - had an okay game. Felt he had two really strong periods in the second and last quarters and showed a lot in the contest, but was inconsistent
Lynch - too good for SANFL level, feel we will rush him in at all costs but IMO is still weeks away fitness wise. Offered no defensive pressure at all. Wouldn't play him over Gollant or Cook
Newchurch - worth persisting with, still think he has something
Strachan - was good in the ruck I felt, I'm leaning towards us retaining him given how many rucks were taken in the MSD. Is there anyone better than him at state level left?
McPherson - he was fine
Worrell - he was fine but hasn't replicated his early season form
O'Connor - he was fine, I still don't see many standout AFL traits but he is an effective inside player at SANFL level
Parnell - plenty to work with but a fair way off
Boralse - is the least good of our tall defenders, question marks over whether he makes it
McAdam - had an absolute stinker, couldn't get near it and won't play AFL again this year based on this effort
Himmelberg - didn't do much and has regressed badly
Davis - wasn't the worst player but I think we've given up on him
I think his body is still a long way away.
But his positioning has improved and he's getting into the right spots. I trust his hands and disposal. There's something there.
I'm not knocking him and his record so far impressive but that photo of his arms suggest work needed on upper body. I think he will turn out better than ok.He gained 10 kg as well in the off-season. Was very skinny when he came abroad last year.
Good set of highlights. Cook oozes x factor
Yeah I see that. I just like that he's so obviously a forward. The way his mind works, he's always trying to create, and find space to be dangerous, and then has the skills, and speed to back it up. Makes him a nightmare to play on (and in that clip you can physically see at 2.45 when he breaks his opponent).There’s a bit of Stevie J the way Cook goes about it.
Buy a round pass if you're keen...$4.99 can't even by a cup of coffee for that these days.Shame this isn’t the Ch 7 game; I was keen for the Gollant, Cook and Horne show.
